had most extravagant yarn, remarked
quietly: 81 can easily believe that story, be-
cause have had mere curious experience
myself. On one occasion had been out hunt
ing all day long and was returning homo
empty handed, when a thrush flew up within
range of my gun, and, thinking it better than
nothing, l blazed away at it, and, to my
great establishment, brought down not only
the thrush, but a good sized hawk Just at
the moment when l pulled the trigger this
hawk, which was also out hunting, had
swooped down upon the thrush, and in con-
sequence the one bullet struck both birds.
But that was not all. The report of my gun
had scared up rabbit, and as luck would
have it, the hawk feel directly ON conys back,
and, being only wounded, Immediately at
tackled the poor beast so fiercely that he, suf-
fering under the cruel claws, began to dig up
the earth frantically with his paws and pres
entity uncovered two immense truflies. So, YOU
see, with single shot l bagged fine hawk
to stuff, a thrush to broil, nice fat rabbit to
stew, and two splendid truffles for the season.
